Chapter 724: A bitter medicine, not sweet dates!

Imperial Doctor Liang busily shouted: “Miss Bai, how can you speak presumptuous speculation so easily?” Bai Zhi smiled and said, “Whether it is presumptuous speculation or not, I think Imperial Doctor Liang knows the answer inside his heart pretty well.” The Empress Dowager was not in the mood to watch their quarrel. What matters to her right now was, if Dongfang Wan recovered just like Bai Zhi has said. A person who has been ill in bed for more than 10 years and whose death has been declared by an Imperial Doctor, returned to good health in just over a month? The Empress Dowager waved her hand: “Well, all of you say less. Imperial Doctor Xu, come on!” Imperial Doctor Xu took a step forward and bowed respectfully to the Empress Dowager. Then, he said slowly: “This doctor thinks that although Imperial Doctor Liang’s prescription is not good for your body, it is not harmful. You can use it!” Well, it’s the same as saying not to use it! The Empress Dowager probably understood that this prescription was useless to her, but it was not harmful. Otherwise, Imperial Doctor Xu would not have such an att.i.tude. For others, this was a trivial matter. Drinking two or more bowls of decoctions was no big deal. But she was the Empress Dowager, who has a n.o.ble body, that was above ten of thousands. How can she allow people to play with her body at will? This was a bitter soup, not sweet dates! “Imperial Doctor Liang, you are so courageous!” The Empress Dowager’s voice was not loud, but was full of oppression, with a hint of fierce anger. Imperial Doctor Liang was so frightened that he couldn’t get up as he begged for mercy. The Empress Dowager coldly snorted: “A doctor, who is not benevolent, forgets his humility, and forgets his origin, is not worthy of being a doctor. Come here, pull him away, and send him to prison. No one is allowed to send him out!” Bai Zhi has only seen and heard these statements on TV and in novels before. She has never experienced it personally. Today, she has gained a lot of knowledge. The guest can be a prisoner in the next moment. As soon as Imperial Doctor Liang was dragged out, the eunuch’s shrill voice came from outside: “The empress is here!” When the eunuch’s voice fell, not long after, the sound of footsteps came to the outside of the room. Then a few hasty figures came in, and the one who walked in front was Empress Chun. As soon as Su Chun entered the hall, she immediately took a glance and saw the Empress Dowager, sitting on the bed looking at her. She was taken aback. Didn’t they say that the Empress Dowager had a stroke? Why does she look alright? The mama who had been serving her had a stroke 3 years ago. At first, she was the same as the Empress Dowager, with slanted eyes and crooked mouth. She woke up in a coma after several days. After waking up, she couldn’t speak clearly and couldn’t even hold her hands. She couldn’t make it and died after a year. “This empress had seen the Empress Dowager!” The Empress Dowager raised her hand and smiled: “You may rise, and have a seat!” In all fairness, she was still very satisfied with Empress Chun. She treated her like her own mother with all her heart. Her last birthday banquet was also very good. Take this matter as an example, she has been awake for more than an hour, but the other concubines haven’t come yet. She came first, so what does that mean? It means that the empress has her, mother-in-law in her heart. “Thank you, Empress Dowager!” Then Empress Chun took a glance at Bai Zhi, who was standing beside her. Seeing that she still maintained the att.i.tude of saluting her, although it was not standard and out of the ordinary, she raised her hand: “You may rise!” “Thank you, your empress!” Bai Zhi stood aside and watched. Empress Chun turned back her gaze to the Empress Dowager said with a bright smile: “This empress has been reciting sutra and fasting for the past few days, praying for the empress dowager’s recovery day and night. Now that I’ve seen mother as healthy as ever, I feel so relieved.”
